nepavend Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I use a standard 8 week cycle for all locations, sometimes for slower spots i will let them go 12, and in the holiday season I may let them go 9 or 10 if weather/holiday timing become an issue. I hate to go into locations and bug them during their busiest time of the year, and sales are usually off in the winter time here so I don't sweat it too much. I do not vend much candy so spoilage is less of an issue. I do make exceptions where I upgrade a spot or other special cases, other than that I always do 8 weeks.

joebob051977 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 $53.00 on a triple at a factory is my best pull. My worst is about $8.00 on a triple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROGERS VENDING Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Joe, This is my plan, an 8-10 week cycle. My question is this: is candy spoilage really that big of a deal? I'm mean, if there's an ac unit no candy should go bad in only 2 or 3 months? Shouldn't the candy last a long time? How long would think candy would last before spoiling? My main concern, I thought, would be jammed or broken machines... Cheers, Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepavend Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Update: I now have beaten my best pull: $542 on the 8x sticker and 6x rack, I swapped the rack with 2 like-new Beaver 5-ways, I will post a pic of the new setup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer980 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hey nepavend do you have the Northern Beaver 20's & 40's on that rack? I am going to pick up my first rack today with those machine on it. If so how do you like the NB machine for toys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepavend Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I will post a pic of my setup there, I just upgraded it Wednesday/Thursday night to two Beaver 5-ways and the 8x sticker that was already there. Thank you Vendamania Fred for your help and ideas with this setup! On the top rows I have two Northern 31" Heads on each rack. They are excellent vendors for 2" products, and they look great with a little Brasso and elbow grease. Currently I am trying three new 2" products to see how they sell, I previously just had Dentures and a 2" mix there. On the bottom I have Ford Assorted Gum, Assorted Toys, Assorted Superballs, Oak Leaf Watermelon, Sticky Mix, and Skittles. I know I usually don't do candy but I was out of ideas and other products and thought I would get rid of candy stock. I also have my #2 spot switched to a Beaver 5-way and will add a second hopefully with a 6x sticker on top and three more heads on the bottom with more gum and toys, I worry that the one rack will sell out of the bottom row in a month, keep in mind this spot was doing $250-300 just in 1" gum and toys! I initially wanted to keep all my racks and setups as Eagle or a compatible vendor for uniformity. I have now changed that to include nicer setups such as Beaver racks for premium spots and I can also get custom tubular locks coded for me for added security.

The location sat for 4-6 months I think neglected route it has PM&M, RP, M&I and Soure Balls. Everything was empty except the SB, I replaced them with gourmet jelly beans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treadmill Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 JB's are on the high side. I would only use them if I had too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 JB's are on the high side. I would only use them if I had too. I agree I won't be buying the gourmet JB again, just the reg ones from now on (regular out sell gourmet 6to1 for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikaKazak Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 JB's are on the high side. I would only use them if I had too. I'm testing out jelly bellies right now at 3 locations. Their cost per vend is by far the highest...40%. But I personally love them compared to the other items. I'll see if it works out or not. I of course am only putting them in locations I don't pay a commission. 40% cost + commission = no thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dromero Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 My best $110 USD in a week and three days on a rack with 8 beaver heads. my words $0 USD in a week and three days on a single headed. I think the coin denomination was high for that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ska173 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I have had a couple 0.00 for a month and several less than $2 months running triples, needless to say pulled rather quickly, I have a triple that sells out Mike and Ikes and PMM every two weeks (and almost out of HT's) averages 75-100 per month. They are letting me put in a rack but the caveat is it can only be candy. I will double up the PMM, add skittles and Reece's and stretch out my service cycle to 30 days.

musser Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The best charity stop I ever had was a Coal Mine, had machines in the break rooms, no stands they all were just on the picnic tables the guys used. Salted nuts and gum, hot heavy work and no smoking anywhere. The best loaction and best people ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ska173 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 That's pretty neat Musser, do you still have them (sounds like not), why not if so? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Naw, all gone. Most mines here were strip mines, They were at #6 ( vein) at 120 feet and didnt think #7 was worth going after, too deep. They bought a bunch more land but the Farmers packed the county board and the mine couldn't get a permit. Hated to see it go, lots of high paying jobs. But strip mines basically turn the earth upside down and ruin the water table, lakes and streams. So its a double edged sword. A lot of local towns sure felt the closings too.
